  1. F150 BlueCruise ETA

    Does anyone know when this will be available for the F150? I'm a little blistered that I paid for the optional hardware but cannot use the technology to play euchre while on my long road-trips :)
  2. Does anyone use Eco mode?

    you get 24MPG? That's amazing. Not that I'm all about mileage (I'm fine with the 16-17MPG I get), I haven't broken 18-19MPG and I'm consistent in the 99% range for acceleration, braking, etc. I use eco mode on the highway when not towing and when using cruise, never use sport - and no where...
  3. Freezing doors on 2021’s

    I had this problem on my 2018 ALL the time when we hit single digits Fahrenheit (Michigan). There was a recall, where they installed 'shields' that were supposed to cover the locking mechanisms and prevent ice from forming - but still had occasional issues. With my 2021, and being in the...
  4. Ford equivalent to Tesla mobile connector?

    No. It was intentional. All of the debate/discussion on dongles connectors and compatibility as well as charging limitations in this thread makes hybrids seem far more practical than a 100% EV. Not trying to ruffle feathers - just an honest observation.
  5. Ford equivalent to Tesla mobile connector?

    Sorry everyone - enjoy your EV's. You're better men/woman than me. I need to get in and go, as far and when I want. I have a F150 Powerboost - love it (it's not perfect, but awesome). I can't ever live with ever having to worry about "charged enough overnight to get to Chatanooga". :)
  6. About 535 hours of life so far for my Powerboost

    I too reserve Trip B for lifetime detail, but I'm a little disappointed that with all the technical capability in the new F150 powerboost, there isn't a widget in the Vehicle panel that shows a detailed view of lifetime views (idle - gas & electric, on board battery status or cycles), MPG, etc...
  7. Nav 'Compass' on start

    oh wow. Cool! Thanks for that!
  8. Ford Tests BlueCruise Hands-Free Driving in “Mother of All Road Trips” Ahead of F-150 OTA Software Update

    Ahh - thanks for the correction. Assist and Active 2.0 are definitely different. I don't think Ford could have MADE it more confusing!
  9. Nav 'Compass' on start

    On my 2021 Lariat PB, have you all noticed that when you start your vehicle and look at the nav screen, there's a compass circle that surrounds the vehicle pointer for about 2-3 seconds, then disappears completely. Has anyone figured out a way to keep that enabled? Sorry - don't have a picture...
  10. Disappointed in B&O Unleashed

    I love my B&O-Unleashed. That system thumps and I have so-so hearing.
  11. Ford Tests BlueCruise Hands-Free Driving in “Mother of All Road Trips” Ahead of F-150 OTA Software Update

    It was a good rant, but I have no doubt that the #1 reason Ford wants us to use their software vs a 3rd party is, in part, so they can collect the driver and vehicle data. Using a 3rd party platform might be a bit trickier (legally) and even expose FoMoCo to unwanted lawsuits if a 3rd party...
  12. Ford Tests BlueCruise Hands-Free Driving in “Mother of All Road Trips” Ahead of F-150 OTA Software Update

    I think you might be confusing the two. The software ($600 upgrade) is separate from the Assist 2.0 ($1000). You MUST have the assist 2.0 hardware option in your build for you to be able to install/use the software that will be released this fall (i.e. BlueCruise)
  13. Changing color of truck on screen and cluster

    I was excited to see this thread as I have the same peeve. Seems like an easy fix! With all of the attention to detail on the UI/UX, this is definitely a shortcoming.
  14. Damn the bad luck...

    I completely agree. And the walking back on the deal is highly suspicious....
  15. Pre-Collision Assist not available

    On my 2018, which had adaptive cruise - occasionally the adaptive cruise would shut down due to the radar sensor being covered with layer of ice or slush during the winter. When I ordered my 2021 PB, I had hoped that they might have improved the resiliency of the radar system. Well, while...
  16. Powerboost suspension any different from 3.5 EB?

    I agree with your post in general. Only having my PB for a week, I can see/sense the engineering that goes into making this whole 'machine' work. This is certainly the MVP (minimum viable product) on the road to full electrification. However, I do still feel that for trucks - you MUST have a...
  17. Boneyard F-150 Delivery Condition Report (From Sitting Without Chip For 3 Months Before Delivery)

    I picked up my PB Lariat last week and checked the undercarriage as well - all looked pretty good (my build date was 4/28). You will notice a bit of rust on the rear/right wheel axle - not sure if that's evidence of where masking failed the 'undercoating coverup' or if it's just a natural...
  18. Lariat PB

    Picked up my 2021 custom ordered/loaded Lariat PB on 7/17. Will be adding a leveling kit and ceramic treatment.
  19. 4/26 Build Week

    I was in the same build cycle and my ETA was pushed to 10/31. My dealer JUST called me and said it showed up on the hauler with no notice. So moral of the story - there is hope and it seems the 10/31 was just put out as the worse case scenario. It's just a wait and see game.
  20. 10/31 Club

    Almost the exact same situation - but my order date was late Jan - loaded Lariat PB. I found a contact with connections who is looking into this for me. I'll post my findings on this thread.
